Integrated Eye Tracking and Neural Monitoring for Enhanced Assessment of Mild TBI
Abstract
During the baseline POP (08 MAR 2013-07 MAR 2014), a number of personnel, including Research Associate A, Post-Doc A, and Software Engineer, were hired. USUHS IRB #1 and HRPO approvals were obtained for the pilot study. Cognitive efficacy tasks were developed, beta-tested, and revised. EEG and eye tracking equipment was set up and integrated, and study personnel received training on data collection procedures, including EEG, eye-tracking, and virtual reality driving simulator data acquisition. Data collection for the pilot study was initiated and preliminary analyses are currently under way. Based upon examination of performance and self-report data, the cognitive efficacy tasks appear to successfully discriminate between workload conditions. We have begun development of algorithms to analyze EEG data. Key milestones are behind schedule due to a late start, but we are attempting to make up this time through accelerated pilot testing. Carry-forward funds will be used to complete tasks initially scheduled for Year 1 but now scheduled for early Year 2. Protocol documents for the next (primary) phase of this study have been prepped and are currently being reviewed by collaborators before being submitted to USUHS IRB #1 and HRPO.
